Mauro Ranallo announces new role as WWE NXT commentator
A familiar voice is returning to the WWE announce team, this time as part of the NXT brand.

Former SmackDown LIVE play-by-play man Mauro Ranallo just revealed on social media that he will soon join WWE’s yellow-and-black brand as a commentator.

“THE NXT CHAPTER BEGINS!” Ranallo wrote in an Instagram post, in which he also said that he is thrilled to join the NXT announce team.

Triple H responded on Twitter, noting that Ranallo and NXT make for a natural combination:

A veteran of combat-sport broadcasting, Ranallo lent his booming voice and encyclopedic knowledge of the mat game to last year’s WWE Cruiserweight Classic. In addition, Ranallo has announced thousands of mixed martial arts, boxing and sports-entertainment matches in his 30-year career. This August, he will call the blockbuster boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and MMA icon Conor McGregor.

Never one to miss the precise name of an esoteric hold, a timely pop-culture reference or an exclamatory “Mamma mia!,” Ranallo will soon have his first chance to commentate over NXT’s hard-hitting brand of action.
Are they serious, bro?

I feel like I pitched this solution after the JBL story broke.

It would have been a great idea had they done that immediately, but so much bullshit has come out over the last few months that is seems weird now.

He's calling the biggest fight in history or whatever.....better having him than holding him to an NDA and a black cloud over him and the company.

At least forced pop culture references are only relegated to NXT shows.

Great news. Only makes nXt commentary that much better, it's already better anyways but Mauro being apart of it will be great. I'd rather listen to his "forced pop culture references" than JBL any day.

I'll take JBL inside joke's over "mama Mia. ...that's more fire than Comey got from Donald Trump" or something equally as bad.

Mauro is great play-by-play guy and his stupid references make me laugh. I bet he'd call Noam Dar and Alicia Fox, a modern day Ross and Rachel.

About Dar and Foxy? I would hope not. I'd lose all respect for him.

Nah, he'd call them a reverse Kim and Kanye
Now that's a more apropos analogy. That makes me heave at the thought of the couple being gross and not Mauro.

It would help if JBL's inside jokes were actually funny, and also if he wasn't such a piece of shit human being but to each their own.
